Hemi short block prices used.

Sure, I think you are right. They do not have cams as they do not have heads. There is one pair of heads but I'd guess they are bad. The HP mechanic told me that all three had broken cams and were knocking. So they stripped the engines and threw them in the trunk of a wrecked patrol car. For all i know all three could have busted blocks. The crank and pistons are there one block has a bad piston. Oil pans on two of them and maybe a oil pump on one. I think all three have motor mounts. I know nothing about these Hemi's except the block might be nice to have for someone. Today was a lucky day because I also picked up a running 440&trans out of an old Winnebago with 70k on the OD.

And they want "how much?" Sounds like a BIG gamble to me.

I'd start somewhere and target not much more than 100 per engine. Without heads or accessories, THAT is going to be an expensive proposition. Also, if they BROKE a cam, could be block damage To tell you the truth if I could not get these very cheap, I'd roll onto something "more complete"
